SWAG MAN OF THE MONTH: TATTOO GUY INTERVIEW

legend x

We saw this revolutinary awe inspiring tattoo on facebook and thought that wejust had to speak to the legend behind the ink. Turns out hes none other than Essex lad Tom Lelyand, known to many as "Lairy Leyland" across the Essex scene. You can find the lairy lad strutting his moves (house shuffle) in a variety of the clubs there along with his occasional journey into London for the best in deep house.

We caught up with him and this is what he had to say.

Tom, SWAG blog here its great to speak to you - We woud first of all like to congratulate you on your tattoo. How did you come up with it? Are you some sort of genius? Its pretty original to say the least

yeah haha some people actually say that i am a genius, i mean nobody else has this tatto or i havent seen anyone in Essex with it so i think im pretty unique in that way. not many people really listen to deep house either so i think its a underground tattoo which will always remind me of the sessions we have had listening to hungry for the power on repeat for 12 hours on and on.

am hungry for the powder

Sick guy its safe to say you are one of the lads, anyone that sniffs cat has got SWAG bro...speaking of drugs whats the most mcat you can sniff in a weekend?me and my mates usually plough through 3 ounce when we have a phat session but we arnt pussies we are still smashing the K constantly too. how do u think i got my nickname lairy leyland. its all about trying to find that perfect mix u know what a mean to help me to get into the music and that.

just to get into the music

Ah yeah we know exactly what you mean, its all about sniffing as much drugs as possible so that you can actually enjoy the deep house...spot on mate! Whats your plans for this summer?What do u think my plans are lol? we are off to ibiza its the only place i will ever go (apart from hideout) and i plan on going every single year...i just cant get enough of it, the drugs, the deep house, the shufflin, the snapbacks and the blazers. i fucking live for it all. hopefully in a few years i will be djing at dc10 if my djing carreer takes off. just played a few local gigs and that so far in essex but i know ive got the best tunes around. even joey essex came to one of my gigs and said how much he liked my tunes.
